4. The diagram at right shows the graph of 3x + 4y = 12. The shaded figure is a square, three of whose vertices are on the coord

inate axes. The fourth vertex is on the line. Find
(a) the x- and y-intercepts of the line;
(b) the length of a side of the square.
(c) Show that your point is equidistant from the coordinate axes.

Remark

This is a very interesting question.  Draw a line from the origin to where the upper right vertex of the square touches the line. That line has the property that the its equation is y = x. So the "solution" to the point of intersection is the solution of the two equations.

y =  x            (1)

3x + 4y = 12 (2)

Put x in for y in equation 2

3x + 4x = 12

7x = 12

x = 12/7

x = 1.714

y = 1.714

Problem A

<em><u>x intercept</u></em>

The x intercept occurs when y = 0

3x + 4(0) = 12

3x = 12                Divide by 3

x = 12/3

x = 4

the x intercept = (4,0)

<em><u>y intercept</u></em>

The y intercept occurs when x =0

3(0) + 4y = 12

4y = 12

y = 12/4

y = 3

y intercept = (0,3)

Problem B

x and y both equal 1.714 so they are also the length of the square's side.

Problem C

See solution above. x =y is the key fact.

x = y = 1.714

A teacher writes an inequality x divided by 6 &lt; -2 on the board. Vincent incorrectly solves the inequality and obtains x &lt;
scZoUnD [109]

The error Vincent made was that he only multiplied the left side of the inequality with 6 although he had to multiply on both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality that the teacher wrote is:

\frac{x}{6} -2

Solving an inequality means that the variable should be isolated on left side of the inequality.

So multiplying both sides by 6

6* \frac{2}{6} < -2 * 6\\x < -12

Vincent got the answer is x<-2 = > The error Vincent made was that he only multiplied the left side of the inequality with 6 although he had to multiply on both sides
